| Art Encyclopedia: Flamboyant Style |
Architectural term referring to the sinuous, flickering patterns found in French tracery from the 14th century to the early 16th. By extension, it has come to designate French Late Gothic architecture in general, thus corresponding to English Perpendicular and German Sp?tgotik ('Late Gothic') or Sondergotik. The term appears to have come into general usage in the 19th century in the writings of, for example, Jules Michelet and Louis Gonse.

Flamboyant (from French "flamboyant") is the name given to a florid style of late Gothic architecture in vogue in France, Spain and Portugal during the 15th century; the equivalent period in English architecture is called Perpendicular, and in Germany the Sondergotik. It evolved from the Rayonnant style and was marked by even greater attention to decoration. The name derives from the flame-like windings of its tracery and the dramatic lengthening of pediments and the tops of arches. The Manueline in Portugal, and the Isabelline in Spain were even more extravagant continuations of the style in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
